Playing video games is not good for our healthy. Thats the opinion was frequently heard by a lot of parents. Spent too much time playing video game make the children have no time to doing the physical exercise. But it's different now. Thanks to the innovation... Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox (via Microsoft Kinect) change all of this.Both consoles bring new way of how we interact to video game because we are "using" our body as a controller. But do this physical activity really can make them healthy?
The video game console can be used as a reason for children who want to do physical activity at home, in a fun way. This matter become concern of a study in U.S.. The study that conducted by Baylor College of Medicine, Houston said that such a physical game that be done via Kinect or Wii does not provide any health effects on children who playing it.
The results obtained after the research is conducted on two groups of children. The first group is the group of children who spent a lot of their time playing the normal game (regular console without the need of physical movement) and the second group is a group of children who spent of their time playing games with physical movement (Wii or Xbox). The result, there is no significant differences between them.
One team member named Tom Baranowski said they were shocked after knowing the results. This is because they think there will be differences between the children who play the game using physical activity and the children who play using regular controller. Well... Do you still think Wii or Kinect game have a good impact on your physical health?
